How is this engery converted/transferred into usable engery? It works by: burn fuel-->heat water to-->steams turns-->turbines turn-->electrical power make steam into turbines to generators
How is this type of energy used today? Fossil Fuels are used today by:
Cars
Airplanes
Medicines
Plastics
Cosmetics
Lubricants
Toothpaste
Heat in our homes
Sun Glasses
Tires
Tennis Balls
Advantages: Easy to transport oil & gas to the stations quickly Gas-fired power stations are very efficient
